A funny thing happened to me this week. But to understand it you need the back story:
During the Silmarillion Awards in July, there was this girl I saw in the comments of the various posts.
She always nominate/seconded a Ted Dekker character. Especially Circle/Lost Books characters.
And I, plus the awesome Tracey Dyck, always did the same.
Tracey even said -- "wow you two are like my Ted Dekker buddies. We keep seconding each others nominations." It was so true. And this other girl really really caught my attention because TED DEKKER FANS ARE RARE.
Her name was Kate Marie.
And I tried to find her. I did. But I just could not seem to find her link. Until Jem so VERY NICELY includes it in her post recently. I immediately fly over to Story and Dark Chocolate to exclaim my delight at finally having found Kate after so long.
Kate replies to my comment after a bit and with something like, "LISAAAAA HI!!! How could I forget??? Ted Dekker fans are so rare I SHALL TREASURE YOU FOREVER. Thank you so much for hunting me down and for the follow!!! You are awesome.
By the way ... waaaaaayyy back when we were twinning at the Sil Awards, I tagged you for something but, ahem, forgot to tell you about it. Here it is if you'd like to do it!!!"
And let me just tell you ... I WAS FLOORED.
Like, wait whaaaat??? It took me ages to find you and you like knew of my existence all along and even tagged me and even linked to MY BLOG in that tag??? How did I not know this?
Also I felt pretty stupid for being so late in finding her, when she, all the way back in July, knew all about me.
Okay well it's not my fault she hid all her links so well.
BUT ANYWAY. AHEM. HERE IS THE TAG. These days it's called the Mysteriously Nameless Tag of Doom. Before it was called, the I Dare You Tag. Neither suits it very well, but who even cares???
// What book has been on your shelf the longest? //
Gladys Aylward: No Mountain Too High. I got this book when I was ... eight. I was the first "chapter book" with no pictures inside that I ever read. And I still have it sitting on my shelf to this day, quite intact, and with a place of honor. I was really proud of myself after finishing it -- and it also sparked my love of biographies, missionaries, and dangerously adventurous true life stories.
// What is your current read, your last read, and the book you’ll read next? //
Current: Fangirl and Siren's Song
Fangirl is contemporary and pretty cool -- even though it has a few content issues. Siren's Song is the last of Mary Weber's trilogy and I promised a review of the series once I finished this -- which is why I'm reading it.
Last: Heartless
MARISSA MEYER. It wasn't on par with the Lunar Chronicles books but still. THE ENDING. It felt like Alice in Wonderland smashed with Shakespeare ...
Because TED DEKKER. And I will be studying travel writing once Nano is over. That's the December writing plan haha :)
// What book did everyone like, but you hated? //
I don't hate books. I just don't. But one of my least favorites is the Snow Like Ashes trilogy. Book one was okay, really! But the next two were just ... so. deathly. boring. And I don't think everyone liked them?? But I read them because others I know did!!
// What book do you keep telling yourself you’ll read, but you probably won’t? //
Let's just be honest. EVERYTHING CURRENTLY ON THE TBR.
To be more exact, probably classics like Jules Verne and Dickens. Also probably the thousand over books of Alexandre Dumas -- who am I kidding here? Who can read that many???
// What book are you saving for retirement? //
All the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books of ever!!! Yes, I'm not joking. I still love both these series and I'll never grow out of them!! I first discovered the Hardy Boys when my dad borrowed the audiobook for us! And Nancy was soon to follow. I mean now that I read them the writing is so super simple and the plots are so predictable,but do I care?? NO!
// Last page: read it first, or wait ’til the end? //
Usually wait till the end. But if ...
a) it gets boring or
b) I don't think I want to read the full thing or
c) I get the awesome idea to be a rebel AND GO SEE THE END or
d) if the end is infamous for a twist or surprise ...
then I'll read the end first!!!
//Acknowledgement: waste of paper and ink, or interesting aside? //
IT'S LIKE THE BEST PART!!! I mean IF THERE'S NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I WILL CRY. Enough said.
// Which book character would you switch places with? //
I keep thinking Hadley because I RELATE SO HARD TO HER. See if Death gave me a chance to save someone I know from suicide I would accept without question. But I like would probably die before I'd work up the courage to stalk Archer ... *hides from the thought of it*
// Do you have a book that reminds you of something specific in your life? (Place, time, person?) //
Basically every book I ever read.
// Name a book that you acquired in an interesting way. //
There's quite a few...
The Sorceress and the Squid -- I won this in a giveaway!!! Like the first time of ever, and also ... I'd totally forgotten I was entered lol.
Peter Nimble -- I got to pick this as an "prize" for entering a writing contest. Then I won gift cards in the contest and bought myself The Book Thief.
The Coronation -- this was an ebook -- BUT THE LOVELY AUTHOR JUST GAVE IT TO ME ^-^
Let Me Be a Woman -- my fabulous cousin bought this for me and it's super rare that that actually happens xD
Have you ever given a book away for a special reason to a special person?
I've got birthday/Christmas presents for family. That's basically it. I recall getting Warriors, Dragon Rider, Magic Tree House and The Kestrel ... probably more but shhh Christmas isn't here yet ;)
Which book has been with you most places?
Hmmm .... I'm guessing either Gladys Aylward or my Bible. Pretty self-explanatory.
Any “required reading” you hated in high school that wasn’t so bad later?
I never hate reading required or not. So no. I've always loved all required reading.
Used or brand new?
Usually used, but I do prefer brand new xD
Have you ever read a Dan Brown book?
Forgive me for this ... but who is Dan Brown???
Have you ever seen a movie you liked more than the book?
In short, no. But I have a feeling that I would prefer the How to Train Your Dragon movies if I ever did read the books. Just because I'm used to it.
Have you ever read a book that’s made you hungry, cookbooks included?
I'm not the kind of person who gets hungry while reading. But Heartless had some delicious sounding, well described desserts xD After all Catherine wants to have a bakery and I relate pretty well being a baker's daughter haha xD
Who is the person whose book advice you’ll always take?
Quite a few people .... especially my Goodreads friends (not all of them of course, but quite a few).
I'd say I whole-heartedly trust Abigayle Claire (cause she's my reading accountability partner lol),and Savannah. I do take other people's book advice too -- but I really really believe these two.
Is there a book out of your comfort zone (e.g., outside your usual reading genre) that you ended up loving?
Divergent would really be it. My first real secular YA sci-fi and ... I just ... WAS FOREVER HOOKED ON YA AND SCI-FI. No question.
Okay that was that and I'm just going to tag ...
so. what books are you leaving for retirement? also, which character would you switch places with???
Oh my word. I love the acknowledgements too <3 Fun tag!
ReplyDeleteYES. IN FACT I USUALLY READ THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FIRST! Ikr?? I'd tell you to steal it from me but you went on hiatus *sigh*
DeleteHTTYD gets mentioned so here I am! XD Yeah, the movies are better. I haven't read the books, but I've researched them enough to know that Toothless and Hiccup are better in the movie. Astrid isn't even in the book, so there's no Hiccstrid, which is unacceptable.
ReplyDeleteAs for Heartless, I actually like it more than the Lunar Chronicles. But all of those books ...*heart eyes*
Such a fun tag. Book I'm saving for retirement? I didn't think I was. XD

DeleteI like hictooth better
DeleteI haven't seen the movies, but book!Toothless is THE BEST THING EVER. (Does movie!Toothless talk? just wondering??) I will fight you if necessary, Ivie. *nods seriously* *falls over my own feet* FEAR ME.
Delete@Ivie -- that's what I think about book vs. movie too but of course I can't be sure I won't like the book unless I actually read it. I'll certainly miss Ruff and Astrid too :(
DeleteAll to their own tastes, huh? BUT MARISSA IS AN AMAZING AUTHOR ANYWAY. I got her latest, Rengades, and can't wait to see what that is like. It's probably like 600 pages tho :P
FEEL FREE TO STEAL THE TAG ...
@Retse -- lol of course you do xD
DeleteMOVIE TOOTHLES IS THE BEST THING EVER AND YOU NEED TO WATCH THEM ASAP BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEST MOVIES IN THE WORLD!!!! Ahem, no he doesn't talk, but he does make faces and you know pretty much what he would be saying. WATCH THE MOVIES!!!!
DeleteI will fight you, too! Its a good thing you chose the world's most deadliest weapon...me. (Quote from the first movie.) XD Jk, I wouldn't fight you. XD I haven't read the books, but my bro started the first book. He said it just wasn't the same.
@Retse- I don't ship Hicctooth. I love them as a rider/dragon relationship. I hardcore ship Hiccstrid and I'm not okay with people shipping Hiccup with girls not even in the movie. I've seen him shipped with Elsa, Merida, and other non-female characters. (Don't even get me started on that last part.)
Delete@Lisa, I love Astrid. It wouldn't be the same.
Delete@Jem -- Toothless is the best thing ever apparently, book or movie xD Movie Toothless doesn't talk ... but he understands puns??? I should read the books... I just fear it will mess with my HTTYD love in some way :P
DeleteI'd love to see you to fight it out, tbh xD
@Ivie -- she doesn't "ship" Hictooth but she doesn't ship anyone or understand shipping very well anyway lol
DeleteTHAT ABT OTHER PEOPLE SHIPPING CHARACTERS A WORLD APART IS RIDICULOUS THOUGH JUST SAYING
*raises fists* We can do it with street fighting because I've researched that for my book and am like 37% sure I could do it in life. Or, I could get the inferno sword and Astrid's ax and totally fight Viking style. XD
DeleteShe's all for dragon/rider relationships -- not romance. Too bad for Hicstrid lol
DeleteSorry Ivie -- same time commenting messes with the sense and order of things lol
DeleteI KEEP SEEING THEM SHIP HICCUP WITH OTHERS AND ARE LIKE, "You can't judge me I can do what I want." I'm like, "Hello, snowflake, they aren't even in his movie. Why would he like them? Him and Astrid are Canon, so they can't be torn apart." XD
DeleteThat's okay, I'm still seeing your comments. XD. I'm all for dragon/rider relationships, too, I just also am a sucker for some romance...sometimes. It has to be put with other plot-lines. Hiccstrid is adorable.
DeletePeople have the right to have their crazy opinions but personally ... LIKE WHAT?? But they should just go write fanfic abt it xD
DeleteAnd you say you don't like romance all that much. Tsk tsk *rolls eyes*
DeleteThe do, trust me. And they brag about their ships while being bent out of shape that someone doesn't agree with them and thinks that Hiccstrid is the only ship possible.
DeleteThe list of ships they do is ridiculous.
Hiccup+Elsa
Hiccup+Merida
Hiccup+Jack Frost (Like, ew. Hiccup is NOT gay. That one is so weird)
They actually pair him with a few males and I get really angry at those. Its all fine and dandy when people want to go around shipping across the fandoms, but don't make a character something they're not.
*shakes head* The fan-girls (and fan-boys) get a little out of hand.
Hm. Jumping back to Astrid being canon, are we counting both books and movies as HTTYD canon?? because things could get messy. AND I WILL TOTALLY FIGHT YOU, IVIE. (don't laugh. Don't- IVIE. I AM VERY INTIMIDATING. STOP LAUGHING. *trips over nothing* AND PUT AWAY THAT AXE.)
Delete*jumps into this conversation because HTTYD is my life*
DeleteHOW ANYONE CAN SHIP HICCUP WITH ANYONE OTHER THAN ASTRID IS JUST BEYOND ME. HE AND ASTRID ARE JUST MEANT TO BE TOGETHER AND I'M SORRY BUT #bitemebro
ALSO HICCSTRID IS IN THE MOVIES AND IT MAKES ME FLAIL AND CRY SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA. BUT THE HICCUP/MERIDA SHIP DRIVES ME CRAZY BECAUSE YES THEY'RE BOTH VIKINGS BUT LIKE COME ON, THEY'RE FROM TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WORLDS!
@Lisa
And don't be upset about Toothless not talking, he's just adorable and cute and he even draws at one point. His animators were pure genius'.
*ends rant*
No wait, I meant @Jem. *facepalm*
Delete@Ivie -- One has to remember that Hiccstrid began in HTTYD movie #1 in which he was an awkwardly dorky and lovable genius of a 15 year old ... and Astrid was tailor made for him while remaining a great character in her own right. So doing a "mix-and-match" won't work well because well ... these characters are just worlds apart lol (and Jack Frost srsly because that horrible and I am glad I'm not part of the official fandom).
Delete@Jem -- I think you should see the movie and Ivie should read the books so we'd get and unbiased debate here *nods*
Delete@MUSICGIRL -- WOW HEY WELCOME <33 ANOTHER HTTYD FAN??? *fist bump* We should create a club!! I could never ship anyone but Hiccup and Astrid even though I personally don't flail over them *shrug* It's just how it is and no one can change it so I go with it lol
DeleteAfter participating in this discussion yesterday, I kind of watched basically the entire first movie via 5-min YouTube clips??
DeleteAnd - okay. The movie is probably best for emotion and Feels(TM). And Toothless is pretty adorable (okay, super-adorable). And there was some nice emotion between Hiccup and Stoik. But book!Toothless is worthwhile too! He's complaining, sassy, and disobedient, but deep deep down in his cold little dragon heart, he really cares about Hiccup. (That's his character development.)
So. I've (basically) seen the first movie. Now you should give book!Toothless a chance! xD
(wow we're all taking this so seriously xD xD)
@Jem -- okay I'll make you a deal. You go watch the FULL movies both 1 and 2 and in January (if not before) I'll go borrow the HTTYD books and read them (depending on how I like it I may read the full series) and do a post comparing them to the movies!!! What do you say?? (And Ivie and Musicgirl feel free to join xD)
DeleteOkay whoops I didn't see you said "entire movie via ... clips". Go watch the second then. also watch the first one beginning to end in DVD if you get the chance ;) No pressure though lol
DeleteI've been planning to read the first HTTYD book for awhile and I actually have it in my home library. I just haven't gotten around to reading it yet cause other books keep taking priority. But I could probably find time to read it soon.
Delete@Jem -- WATCH THE SECOND ONE WITH TISSUES BECAUSE IT MADE ME CRY IN THE THEATER.
@Ivie -- Didn't that one scene just rip your heart out? Like, come on, IT WAS SO EMOTIONAL AND JOHN POWELL MADE IT EVEN BETTER WITH THE BEAUTIFUL CLIMAX OF MUSIC AND VOICES. Ugh, come fangirl with me over the music, please?
SOMEONE PLEASE FLAIL WITH ME I NEED A FANGIRL STAT!!
And yeah, I should do a post about the movies vs. books because this is one of my favorite Fandoms if I'm being honest.
DeleteOoh do you have a blog? Is it public or private?
DeleteBUT THE MUSIC YES <333 I HAVE THE WHOLE SOUNDTRACK ON MY PLAYLIST
Also @Musicgirl epic profile pic ;)
DeleteYeah, I have a blog, but it's a private one and I only invite those that I know in person for safetey reasons. I'm sorry!
DeleteYAS ANOTHER HTTYD/JOHN POWELL MUSIC FAN! <3 <3 <3
*SPOILER, JEM DON'T READ THIS PART!!*
I can play Stoick's Ship on the piano and it makes me sooooo sad whenever I do! That beautiful climax in the middle of the song just makes me wanna cry!!
*OKAY COME BACK NOW JEM WE LOVE YOU*
Thanks Lisa, I'm a huuuge Harry Potter fan (it's basically my life) so Hermione Granger is one of my go-to profile pictures since I don't use actual pictures of me on the Internet (again for safety reasons).
@Musicgirl -- It's fine, I understand! It's super nice you still can hang out and give all your opinions in the comments though XD
DeleteThat which is spoiler material is soo epic I wish I could WOW YOU ARE TALENTED
I have never read Harry Potter. I know -- scream with me!! Someday I will though ... (tbh tho it's probably one of those I keep telling myself I will read but who knows if I will?) XD
SORRY, I'M BACK!!!
Delete@MusicGirl: I KNOW!! That scene is so emotional. I can't stand it. *sobs*
@Lisa: I don't know if I'll read the books. I've done A LOT of research on websites that spoil things, so I pretty much know what the books are like, plus input from my brother. He wasn't amused. XD
@Jem: I can have the inferno sword if you prefer that over me having an ax. XD
BUT THE FIRST MOVIE IS SO AMAZING AND THE SECOND... *flails*
THIS CONVERSATION IS AMAZING!!!
AND THE MUSIC FROM THE MOVIE IS EPIC!!!
WHY AM I SCREAMING??
~Ivie
iviewrites.blogspot.com
Oh, the also ship Hiccup with Rapunzel, which is just wrong because FLYNN RYDER IS FOR RAPUNZEL ONLY!!!
DeleteAnd Anna with Hiccup as well. HICCSTRID FOR LIFE!!!!
I'm not apart of the official fandom, I'm just crazy. XD
@Lisa: Of course!! Anytime I find a HTTYD conversation happening in anybody's blog comments, I'm there.
DeleteAwww, thank you! I love playing piano, it's one of my favorite things to do along with writing, reading, blogging, and singing.
Eh, I forgive you. :P It's one of those fandoms that not everyone understands, so it's cool. I'm not gonna make you read em, but you are missing out by not joining the fandom.
@Ivie: YES, THAT SCENE, MY HEART...*sobs with you*
DeleteIT'S OKAY WE FANGIRLS LOVE TO SCREAM WITH EACH OTHER IN BLOG COMMENTS. IT'S WHAT WE DO.
I'LL JOIN YOU.
THAT WAY YOU DON'T FEEL ALONE IN YOUR SCREAM-FEST.
*initiates some weird scream-fest that only Ivie, Jem, Lisa, and I understand*
*feels bad for everyone who happens to read this conversation in like two years and gets sad because they missed it*
*but not really because we'll probably still be screaming about it*
That was fun! I enjoyed that! :)
ReplyDeleteTHANKS KATIE XD
DeleteI HAVE HAD THAT EXACT SAME PROBLEM! Like, I'll see someone comment on something, but it doesn't link to their blog, and then I see them all over the place, but still can't really find them. It's so frustrating and I'm super glad I'm not the only one who has this problem. Also, THANK YOU FOR NOMINATING ME! <3 I love tags, and they always make me feel so appreciated when someone tags me.
ReplyDelete~ Ella Marie
YES. which is why I always try to drop my link. HAHAHA ME TOO XD I'm happy you relate.
DeleteAhhh no problem ^-^ being tagged is always nice! But sometimes those tags pile sky high *glances at my own pile*
OK finding peoples blogs IS A REAL PROBLEM. Like WHY IS THIS SO HARD??? No one knows. Absolutely loved this story though and it one hundred percent made me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteYES NABILA #same
DeleteSUPER HAPPY IT MADE YOU SMILE. This comment made ME smile :D also thanks for following and commenting *high five*
Fun tag!!! I need to do this soon, because Jem tagged me and I almost forgot about it. :P *writes note for self*
ReplyDeleteAnd YES, acknowledgements!! I usually read them!! :D
SO TRUE!!! Oh really?? Can't wait to see your answers xD
DeleteAcknowledgements are so amazing *nods* In fact I'm usually drafting my acknowledgements before I begin chapter 1 lol
Fun answers! :D I know Kate Marie!! Haven't been to her blog in forever (but that describes like 80% of my pals' blogs right now, sadly)...
ReplyDelete*feels special because I'm in the intro story*
The Priest's Graveyard! Ooooh, that's a good one. Creepy of course. But pretty good from what I remember!
Acknowledgements are my fav too! I LOVE getting a peek into how many people influence one book. ^_^
*grins* THANKS. Yeah, I'd assume you'd know her (having been around so much longer than me lol). Eh, it's true that keeping up with all the blogs is hard work actually!!!
DeleteYou are totally special because you're the first Dekker fan I found too haha
YES IT'S REALLY CHILLING SO FAR. I LOVE CREEPY BOOKS (books that are creepy in a good way of course... which is totally Ted Dekker's books ;D).
PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WRITE A BOOK *nods*
When Kate Marie first commented on my blog, I had a heap of trouble finding her too?? so... *grins sheepishly* She's just really good at hiding. (Or she's a hobbit. with that special small magic that means she can pass unseen by most, if she chooses. ...thaaat doesn't really make sense but I'm going to go with it anyway...)
ReplyDeleteI have The Sorceress and the Squid!! I got an ARC - my first ever. :D
"If the end is infamous for a twist... I'LL READ THE END FIRST." Um. Lisa. Logic??? (I mean, I do the same. But I SHOULDN'T. xD xD)
- Jem Jones
*nods vigorously* Usually clicking a commenter's name should bring you to their blogger profile/Google+ profile where there's often a link to their blog buuuut Kate's Google+ profile only gave links to her old blogger blog which no longer exists, apparently *shakes head*
DeleteYES THE SORCERESS AND THE SQUID. It was my first ever ARC too ^.^
ARGH I KNOW, I HAVE NO LOGIC. But like I'd heard of the infamous ending of Heartless so I just went and read the last chapter first so that it wouldn't crush me to badly later *nods* Also the Mockingjay ending didn't hurt me too badly because I'd already read the end. See?? It helps :P
Lol for backstories. XD That happens to me sometimes and it drives me nuts. And your answers were great! "Let's just be honest. EVERYTHING CURRENTLY ON THE TBR." <--------too true. XD That's literally the biggest problem I have.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for tagging me!! This will be a lot of fun. :D
SO TRUE SO TRUE xD THANKS :D Like the lucky books are those that never end up on my TBR because I read them instantly before they get there. If something goes to the TBR there's a 90% chance it'll get buried at the bottom!!
Deleteoh my pleasure ^-^ Can't wait to read your answers!
What a fun tag!
ReplyDeleteAnd you never hated required reading? Ever?? Wow. I am in awe! O_O XD
Me, too. I despised most of it. XD
Delete@Gray -- I never had required reading till grade 8 when I ACTUALLY WENT AND REQUESTED LITERATURE FROM MY DAD AND TAUGHT MYSELF HALF THE BOOK BY READING ALL THE STORIES AND ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS AND STUDYING THE TEACHER'S GUIDE. *nods* Then in grade 9 I read Westmark which was a blast and this year I'll be doing Romeo and Juliet and To Kill A Mockingbird AND I AM PUMPED. XD
Delete@Ivie -- WHAAAT YOU TOO???
DeleteLOL!
DeleteOkay, I feel bad but not really: I tagged you for The Bibliophile Sweater Tag
Thanks Gray! I feel like someone tagged me for it, but I couldn't remember who it was XD
DeleteI LOVE THIS TAG!!!!!!! And your answers!!!! And this post!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHEY PAIGE THANK YOU SO MUCH <333 and thanks for the follow ;) you may steal the tag if you like. Reading your answers would be really cool!
Delete*gasp* No Mountain Too High??? I LOVE that book!!! I read it a bunch when I was a wee lass...maybe I should read it again for old times sake!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about Mellissa Meyer's books? I've heard a bunch about them, but still trying to decide if they're worth getting. I'm still very cautious about getting new books, lol. Kinda afraid of what I might find in them. :)
But the Sorceress and the Squid sounds like such a fun, lovely, great book I'm debating if I want to get it even though it has magic (and I'm not a fan of magic). *frantically pounds keyboard in hopes that'll help me make decisions*
Wait whaaat?? THAT IS BEYOND COOL *high five* I should read it for old times sake too lol
DeleteAh, I highly recommend Marissa Meyer's books!! The Lunar Chronicles was totally awesome and five stars and on my top-faves-of-all-time list so YES DO TRY THEM OUT. They are fairy tale retelling set in the future!! Heartless was a retelling of Wonderland and the Queen of Hearts and was really loooong but with a superb ending and apparently Ivie and Lila at least think really highly of it, so that's definitely good to check out too *nodnod* Nothing beyond romance in there xD
The Sorceress and the Squid was really good ^-^ I understand if you don't like magic, but in here it was ... like how things just naturally worked? There's a Creator in there and it's basically how He designed things to work so there's that in your favor ;)
EEEP THIS IS SO MUCH FUN. <3 I agree, Heartless definitely wasn't TLC standard, but it was still good. :) And YAAAS TO ALL THE NANCY DREW AND HARDY BOYS BOOKS!! For the longest time my family has kind of collected allll the original hardbacks from both of those series (mostly ND though...and some of them are like from the 1930s and 1940s which is super awesome!!) and I definitely want to read them all one day. :") NANCY DREW WAS MY CHILDHOOD. I WAS OBSESSED. (still am, tbh...)
ReplyDeleteI loved reading this tag!!
rock on,
abbiee
AHH THANK YOU ABBIEE <333 Haha do I remember correctly that you used to write mysteries like Nancy Drew? Or was it fanfic?? XD That is super cool though that you have so. many. I mostly read the original hardbacks too, but I don't mind the newer ones either lol Same here! I lived off those books when I was younger! Nancy Drew was like my mom's childhood too and she'd still read them any day haha
DeleteAww that's great! Sounds like everyone likes this tag XD
Thank you so much for the tag, Lisa!!! We've been on vacation for Thanksgiving so I'm just now reading all the blog posts everyone's written (THERE ARE A LOT). You did such a nice job with this, and I'm looking forward to writing up my own post. :) Happy (late) Thanksgiving, by the way.
ReplyDeleteAww you're welcome girl <333 Ugh yes, when you miss a few days your feed like explodes once you get back lol THANK YOU SO MUCH, and I look forward to reading yours ^-^ Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving vacation too!
DeleteThis was fun!!! I used to LOVE Nancy Drew books (I still do actually xD). I think I have collected pretty much all of them (at least the old ones).
ReplyDelete- Maddy | littlebitofsunshineweb.blogspot.com
THANK YOU MADDY <3 Nancy Drew rocks XD OH WOW I'M IMPRESSED YOU HAVE SO MANY. Which is your favorite?? Also thanks for following and commenting! You have an awesome blog yourself (which I already commented on) ^.^
DeleteSCREAM. You're reading Fangirl? I hope you're loving it so far! And SCREAM. Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew were my childhood :D
ReplyDeleteI loveddddd reading this tag <3

ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon this book tag, and yeah, I love HTTYD. I was so excited to hear it was based on a book, and I never got the book, because I can tell just from the book bio that the movie was approximately 6.97 times better... and the sequel was about 10.78 times better ;).
ReplyDelete-Bri from www.forget-not-his-benefits.blogspot.com
Well stumbling upon tags is one of the best things XD Hey Bri!! HTTYD YES ... *nodnod* I saw the movie first too, and upon seeing it was based on the book, I went and flipped through it in the library ... honestly I think the things that put me off were the illustrations (which looked a bit weird) and that the two girls were not in there!!?? But it's like a ten-book series!!? Thanks for the comment, Bri!
